Can we live on VII
Moe 's story cont.

Ralph and Toni were talking with a disheveled, I think it is a man. What ever, it was bemire. Ralph came over ... Moe this crap lot says her name is JuJu. You almost rode in on their camp there are three adults and 5 Thomas Kyd all one family. They have been hiding out ever since this mess started. The blue sky hats have a withdrawal at the entrance of tone ridge. We can get past times them but not with our ATVs, they would hear them. Oh and fetich says she is good-for-nothing for shooting you. It was her shoemaker's last bullet.

I told them to spread out and to set up a tent for the vernal unity. This is going to take up some scouting and preparation. We fed all the kids and our new plus, who had nada but weewee from a leaping Which I told them to take use of to wash themselves. I did not want any malady from filthy conditions.

I had been evaluating my master gang, watching how they moved and found another of Toni 's attributes ... she was a natural in the bush. After fetish was cleaned up I discovered she was fourteen and she too was a born and the most feel out of all the kids. None of the adult could be depended upon. fetich says they are in self-denial. Plus the two women, female parent and chiliad mother had been repeatedly raped by the blue devil Hats. When the father objected, they beat him senseless.

Juju was the sugar winner the brain the heart and mortal of her family line. Juju had hidden and avoided the blue hats and later that night managed to slip her family out of town. The Blue Hats did n't deal. All this bunch was interested in was robbing and raping.

Juju led our outset talent scout, she pointed out many things to Toni and even a few to me. The blueing chapeau of Timber ridge Detachment were slovenly and lazy. It was obvious voodoo was right on it was easy to fend off them.

We were not in a tangible big hurry ... We decided to harass them. With Juju leading our scouting party we evaded the Blue lid. The all idea was to pick them apart from the South. Since this bunch thought it was party time. They were raiding pot likker stores and crashed where ever they happened to be at the time.

We had a few crossbows available and a few tongue. I had a home plate made .Bowie knife which was razor knifelike. The first dark I accounted for 7 slit throat. The others took out four more than with the curtain call. We drug the torso aside and hid them the best we could. We were hoping the military officer would retrieve they deserted.

We would allow a few sidereal day for the brouhaha to taper off then do it again. About a week later we set fervency to the enlisted men 's barracks. Only three got out. Most were too drunk to even get out of bed.

I decided I needed a bit of intel. Our last little soiree yielded a span of Blue Hat uniforms. The solely one that would fit me was a Sergeants uniform. I chukled this should give me a bit more go elbow room. I bypassed the out postal service and entered the area from the South.

No-one seemed to question my right to be there. In fact I noticed the few that were working seem to work a little faster and harder. I stood and watched for awhile but did n't sy anything. Occasionally I would frown or nod my header in the disconfirming. Then I walked away.

I had found a note pad and pencil in one of the consistent pockets. I opened it and discovered it was written in English. I had read the SSGT 's bill. He was n't too glad with the way the turnout was ran. He called them Civilian soldiers.

I noticed that when I pulled out the notebook computer ... The men seemed to work faster. I had turned to go deeper into the inner circle when on policeman ... a Major I think, called out to me.

"SSGT car park, the Colonel indirect request to speak with you."I nodded and Saluted and fell in behind him.

I glanced to my right cap pocket there was a name tag 'SSGT park'Hmm I wonder why I was n't recognized as fake.. I followed the Major in to a gabardine building with two private standing safety device out forepart. They came to attention and saluted the Major.

Sitting at a desk across the room was a Sgt., Admin type. He stood and opened a door to the left of his desk and ushered the Major and I into the Colonels presence. . Also in the room was Two 2nd Lts neither looked over 18.

The Colonel stood up from his desk and extenede his script before I could salute ... I shook his manus and introduced hm self. Col. A. E. W. Mason, the Major Afton and the Lts as cock and Bracelton.

Things were beginning to do sensory faculty ... SSGT Parks was just transferring in, Thats why no one recognized me as him or visa versa.

"Although you are new fiat have changed and they affect you."

"How so Sir ?"

"forest Ridge has been deemed to be of no strategic Value. We are being sent to back up the insularity at saddle horse Holyoke which is twice the size of Timber Ridge and has been under approach from rebels."

"How is that to involve me ?"

"wellspring SSGT Parks your repute has preceded you. We have to leave alone a token force here and since you are the most know soldier here I have chosen you to be in charge of the 5 man Team. Any problem with that ?"

I smiled"No sir none at all."I will draw what gear we will need."

"Excellent ! We leave in 48 hours.

*****************************

Moe was shocked, nada like having everything handed to him on a silver platter. He laughed to himself. He could almost bet the five men left to him would be the worst of them all. Probably thief, malingerers. The low of the low ... Oh well they could die all the same.

Ralph had been with me on this scout. He was waiting exterior for me."Ralph get back to camp and evidence Joann what is going on. She is to project our attack. We will be active into town in 72 hours."I laugh,"We will only have to deal with five men not a Company."

Moe looked at the five men he was to be left with. He smiled he had been right they were the degs of club, Slovenly and rummy to bring up."The rest of the company are moving out in about 48 60 minutes. You five have been picked to defend this town. Until they leave just stay out of mint. Out sight out of mind."If ( I laughed ) you need me I will be in the troupe office."


My five stood at attention as the rest of the companionship began loading up the trucks. As they pulled out I gave the bidding hand military greeting. We held the salutation till the hand truck were out of view'."Two,"we broke the salute.

My five were surprised to bet around and find rifles pointing at themselves. We stripped them and planned to lock them in the city Jail.

One of them was enraged and attacked one of our people, grabbing their rifle and firing ... one shooter before all five hit the ground ... The pokey mobile phone would not be needed ...


The hold up paragraph and this was written by Joann.

At first it was a boisterous metre, we had won with only one shot fired at us ... then the excitement turned to remorse ... The sudden realization ... We were on our own ... The one shot, had hit our loss leader, Moe ... he died instantly.

We would have to learn and call into question everything always asking"How would Moe birth done it ?

We knew not what to do other than occupy the town of lumber Ridge and make it ours.

THE END
